Phoenix - Born out of Fire and Ice

Phoenix - Born out of Fire and Ice

A sudden inspiration came over me this weekend. It ended up in a warm hat with  a Bohus inspired touch. The Bohuslän story is a very interesting one. I own this wonderful book about the Swedish community that created a knitting industry with local creative forces. Women came up with unique patterns for sweaters, jackets and accessories in this local Swedish cottage industry. 

Poems of Color is the name of the book and the author is Wendy Keeler.

It is an interesting read and a number of patterns to follow.

Last week I had some fun with the Bohus knitting idea and created The Phoenix Hat

It is a different technique than just stranded knitting. The mixture of knit and purl into the pattern creates interesting shades and shapes. It is really a challenge and satisfying work.

Any fingering weight yarn in 100% wool works for me.

Then I need 4 weeks to knit, soak and block the piece which leaves a finished product after a drying process.
